01/18 264.2 There’s the water bounce dropping, plus a little more. Tom still hasn’t arrived, but at least I’m not holding onto water like the last few times it decided to be late. My goal is to see some new lows this round.

01/19 262.6 When I said yesterday that I wanted to see some new lows this round I wasn’t thinking that I would see them so soon! Though this could in part be to sleeping in an hour later than usual, I’ll be happy if I don’t see a little bounce tomorrow when I weigh at my new usual time. I figured out my eating schedule so that I’m not overly hungry by dinner time and trying not to eat everything in sight. My nsv yesterday was buying some new mean’s sweatpants in large and top in xtra large. The shirt looks a little stuffed sausage on me, but it will soon fit better, and I don’t mind wearing it in the house.

01/20 262.4 I weighed at my usual time this morning and I’m just happy there wasn’t a bounce up from the different weigh in times.

01/21 260.8 This whoosh is brought to me by another later weigh in. I was very tired when I got up this morning, so I went back down for a short bit. I am so glad I did because I feel 100 times better and have energy which has been missing lately. Plus it brought me this nice whoosh down.

Day/Weight/Comment:

01/18: 130.0 - smack dab on my original goal weight this morning. I’ve decided to eat at or below maintenance for a couple weeks, continue to work on strength training and then possibly losing another 5 lbs. Had a fantastic first day back to the gym yesterday, an hour total including 20 minutes elliptical.

01/19: 130.0 - this maintenance thing is interesting. I feel like I've been eating so much more and yet, the scale stays the same, it's hard to wrap my head around. Thinking of still eating below maintenance every few days until I trust this weight.

01/20: 130.0 - still here. Ate below calories yesterday but did not work out at all, just did my elbow physical therapy. Heading to the gym this morning, can not wait.

01/21: 130.8 - ate well all weekend, looking forward to being able to exercise more often. I did do my elbow P/T at least once every day. I know it takes time but, ugh, I’m impatient.

fmfdfa2020 · January 2020

So ready for Round 102 (my 3rd)

Started MFP 12/27/19 - Heaviest Weight Ever - 186.0
Round 100 -7.6 lbs (actually 12 days - includes the 2 initial days on MFP)
Round 101 -1.9 lbs

Round 102 Starting Weight 1/17: 176.5

1/18 176.0
1/19 176.0
1/20 177.0
1/21 177.0 Okay, I guess this is the weight I'm going to have to work with

What I did well: Before, I would have been binging and off my 'diet' for weeks by now and especially if my weight went up. The fact I'm still encouraged and sticking to it I am EXTREMELY grateful! I held my calories at 1573 and rowed. I appreciate the small changes that aren't scale related like the fact my clothes fit better.
What I didn't do well: I did not drink water. I ate too many carbs. I made chicken soup for my cold a few days ago and did not have low sodium chicken broth so too much sodium. I haven't done IF for a few days. I haven't had enough vegetables or fruit.
So, I'm throwing down a challenge to myself by writing down all my goals for today on tomorrow's date and I will have to take them off if I don't do them

1/22 Yesterday, I drank 64 oz of water _____; ate 4 vegies _____; ate 2 fruit: _____; stayed under 1200 calories: _____; rowed: _____; turned on favorites songs and danced for 10 mins (because music makes everything better!) _____; began IF before 5PM: _____.

1/23
1/24
1/25
1/26
1/27

Goal for Round 102 - to continue to eat healthy, drink water, no sugar or processed food. IF 4 out of 7 days, Row, lift weights and walk. 174.5 pounds

Tracking my next goal: hit 160's again!!

Round 102 Daily Recap

1/18 176.0 I've lost 10 pounds! What a great way to start this round. It was time for a slight drop so very happy to see it! I had my doubts because I didn't exercise yesterday, or drink enough water and I made english muffin bread and had one slice, which I was still only 1157 calories. The bread only has 63 calories an oz. What I'm most proud of though is the fact I only ate one slice of bread. NEVER in the past would I have had the willpower or control over my cravings to do this, especially in the evenings! Here's to this being a successful round for all of us!

1/19 176.0 I've had a small cold so hadn't exercised for a few days. Rowed 30 mins this morning. Will be shoveling snow later today. Beautiful Sunday morning with the snow untouched yet and deep blue sky. Have a lovely day all!

1/20 177.0 - Yike, that wasn't easy to write.

It just reminds me that I can't get too excited or too low whichever way the scale goes and watch the trend. First time over 1500 calories in 3 weeks on Saturday - 1671 calories, which isn't too bad. Yesterday was 1391 but too many carbs and too much sodium. I've had a cold so didn't exercise Friday and Saturday but did row yesterday and this morning. Have not drank enough water either. So many things to work on over the next eight days of this round! I'm still happy to be out of the 180's FOREVER!!!!

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

Do you take measurements? I’m terrible at that myself but if you are losing FAT and gaining MUSCLE your weight may not change but your body composition will. A pound is a pound but muscle takes up less space! - Jpv, 11/22/19

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

01/18 121.0 Got up late.
01/19. 122.0 Was in an all day sewing class yesterday. We had a buffet of deli meat and cheese. I keto-ed the best I could with the selection available and suspect this might be water. Didn’t drink enough water. My back was killing me when I got home but feels better now. No worries about the blip.
01/20 120.5 Meeting DD#2 and her husband for her late birthday lunch. Great Greek - YUM!
01/21 121.5 I haven’t been tracking food for a week, haven’t been to the gym since 1/13 and may have slacked off in water. I need to get my act together and not be complacent. I have failed too many times in the past! I have 1/2 of my Greek Salad left from yesterday.

01/20 190.0 43% BF Well wrong direction but it's that TOTM so hopefully will be seeing a whoosh here in the next couple of days. This is week 2 back at the gym after a long december off and I need to remember that it usually takes my body 3 weeks to acclimate to that.
01/21 189.8 42.7% BF 1654 calories total yesterday. At least the scale was under 190. Drinking a lot of water and tea today, staying below 1500 cals with plenty of vegetables.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18--205.0 I barely drank any water yesterday. My upper back is still sore from yesterday, but I did take some pain meds and used a heating pad last night and it definitely helped. Hubby and I are going to paint the laundry room/storage room this weekend. I'm going to try and go out for a walk today, but it's supposed to be raining all day so who knows.
01/19--204.8 Upper back feeling better. Hubby finished 1/2 of the painting, and I will do some more painting today. Strength coach today.
01/20--204.5 I had a dexa scan on Friday and frustratingly, my body fat % hardly changed from my last scan. While, I did lose a good % of body fat, because I also lost lean muscle mass, my body fat % basically stayed the same from my last scan. I talked to my strength coach yesterday about the results, and it was clear that I'm not eating enough protein. So, my first goal is to get my protein amount to 100g per day, I need to eat more than 100g, but it's a start.
01/21--204.5 106g of protein yesterday. It took a bit of maneuvering to make sure that I got in my protein, which included a late evening snack of roasted chicken, but I got my protein in. Rest day today.

1/21 161.7 0 miles Very frustrated with weight and food and all of it. The same thing happened in January last year. I just lost my way after doing well over the holiday. I've not been eating great though I'm still walking as much as possible. I'm still tracking but not being 100 honest with it. A lot going on in my life right now - most of it very good but it's an excuse somehow to behave badly. I've been spending too much money and spending too many calories all on junk. If I would just drop the extra water I've been carrying around for almost 2 weeks I'd feel better.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/17 …..189.9….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/18 …..189.9 ….. A great day of eating on plan and exercising yesterday. However, a very small indiscretion last night for a snack so no loss, no gain. Yesterday’s stats: 1423 Calories In / 2984 Calories Out. 42 Net Carbs. 21,302 Total Steps & 9.01 Total Miles. 10/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 1 minutes but it was very broken sleep. I walked for 2 hours & 7 minutes at the school burning 969 calories walking very briskly and I walked on my property for a short 12 minute walk at about 3.0 mph burning another 72 calories. Total extra burn 1041. Good luck everyone! Let’s make this one really count!

01/19 …..189.7 ….. Still easing back into my best routine. My sugars so far are cooperating and I’ve been feeling okay on that front. Yesterday’s stats: 1716 Calories In / 2125 Calories Out. 84 Net Carbs. 8,197 Total Steps & 3.47 Total Miles related to working. 12/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 3 minutes but I needed so much more. I walked steady for 15 minutes at 2.5 mph burning 65 calories which didn’t help my situation. It was a busy work day, then I had an evening social engagement for a few hours which included food so I was a over on calories & carbs, but not in an outrageous way. Part of the "easing back in" I guess. Today and tomorrow there will be lots of cabin cleaning. We have been pounded with snow so the snowmobilers are traveling up for some winter fun which keeps me busy in my line of work. I'll eat pre-prepped food to help offset the scale for tomorrow morn since social eating sometimes shows up a day or two late. Have a great Sunday everyone!

01/20 …..189.7 ….. First a report on my son who is an adult autistic beautiful boy. First official weekly weigh-in this morning showed a 5.8 pound loss for him!!!! Beaming proud mom here. I know that means he has not been hiding food or soda. I, however, was a bit over calorie and carb yesterday but easing back into my plan is working pretty good right now. No serious incidents of glucose drops since last week. I am going to begin easing back into Intermittent Fasting. I don’t want to push it quickly so I will start with 12:12. For most, the 12 hours of Fast is mostly hours of sleeping but not for me. Because I am usually sleeping in the 4 hour range, this is an actual 7-8 hours of waking fast along with the sleep fast. Gradually I will ease into the 16:8. Yesterday’s stats: 1838 Calories In / 2436 Calories Out. 76 Carbs. 12,232 Total Steps & 5.18 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 6 minutes and woke up very tired. The school is not open to walk on Sat/Sun and the weather hit 11 degrees below zero by dark. Too cold & icy to walk outside yesterday. I cleaned cabins for a couple of hours. Fitbit saw it as 27 minutes of activity so that’s what I record. I am learning so much from you all. Thanks to everyone for your comments & your sharing. A special thanks to Tish.

01/21 …..189.6 ….. A little up on calories but my carbs were within acceptable levels with my current plan of readjustment. A nice good long exercise walk yesterday at the school to help get the scale to move. Yesterday’s stats: 1808 Calories In / 2861 Calories Out. 48 Net Carbs. 21,306 Total Steps & 9.02 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 31 minutes falling asleep earlier last night. I woke up much better rested. I walked at the school at about 3.5 mph average for 116 minutes burning 711 Extra calories. I also cleaned 2 cabins with light to moderate effort along with other duties. I felt pretty good yesterday. My meals and days have been on point, but my night time snacking is putting me a bit higher than desired. I think I am still in fear of the sugar drops as this is when it always occurs – at night. I am making moderate choices and feeling good. I will continue to work toward my ultimate macro goal.

Round 102 - Jan.18 to Jan.27
Female, 5’, 66 years. SW – 165.2, GW – 163 something, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.) The 12 hr. IF along with everything else (portion control, watching calories in foods, exercise) seems to be working well for me. So this round I hope to be more consistent with logging food and exercise and see how far I can get.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 – 165.2 – Up a little from yesterday. Did almost a regular workout at the gym yesterday, so maybe some water retention. Close on calories and did IF.
01/19
01/20 - 165
01/21 – 165 – Busy last 2 days so didn’t get on here but did weigh. Good workout at the gym yesterday but didn’t manage IF. Always have to run off to practice on Mondays which typically goes till 10 or so, then when I get home, I just want to unwind and eat something. Last night it was 1/3 – ½ cup of homemade granola (nutritious but not low cal.) I need a plan to deal with this … it’s the same story every week so now it’s a habit.

Total change this round: (-1.6) (SW 398 CW 396.4 GW 390)

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.

In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs

My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.

I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.

Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.

Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.

On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.

My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.

Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.

Ugh,not what I was expecting. But went for a great run this morning, so my body may not weigh what I would like it to, but it did me proud.

@deepwoodslady I had my interview and even got a call to set up another interview with a different job (for Monday)! I also informed them both I had my offer from another location but I am very interested in their positions so I have limited time (my interview today I was still pending the official offer but by the time I got the call to set up an interview with the other company, I had the offer in hand and informed them of it). This is all happening so fast!

TerriRichardson112 · January 2020

Back for another round. Thanks @GrandmaJackie

Never give up! Never give in!

2018:
My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
2019
I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!

2020
I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

RSW: 188.4
RGW: 186.0

Second round participating! I lost 2.4lbs-3.2lbs un the first round. Let’s see if I can lose another 2!

01/18: 188.4 dieting was hard today but I did everything possible to stay under calories and I did! Also worked out for 1.5 hours this morning.

01/19 188.4 no change is good. I was way over sodium yesterday. Family dinner tonight but I kept portions small. I suspect I’ll stay the same tomorrow.

01/20 190.4 discouraged about weight going up but I managed to stay under calories and sodium today despite working out of office. I brought my own foods and didn't eat out.

01/21 189.4 ok, moving back down. Stayed under calories today. I am trying to remind myself that I could’ve not gained fat when I’ve been on a consistent deficit.
